With her wit and outspoken views, Clarissa Dickson Wright opens her diary and takes us on a journey around Britain with this unrivalled collection of stories and anecdotes from her ever-eventful life.

Following a year in her life, this book features an assortment of tales, including being propositioned by a greyhound courser, meeting the Sandringham branch of the WI, coming into contact with a fishing terrier called Kipper and taking on Health & Safety officials at a County show.

Criss-crossing the country, she introduces us to forgotten traditions and local festivals as she meets up with extraordinary characters and friends old and new.
